Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a semiconductor layer in which pixels are arranged in a matrix, the pixels each including a photoelectric conversion portion and a transistor used for loading a signal from the photoelectric conversion portion, and multilayer wiring formed on the semiconductor layer and including a first wiring layer, a first inter-layer insulating layer, a second wiring layer, a second inter-layer insulating layer, and a third wiring layer in this order. The multilayer wiring includes a plurality of output lines for loading signals from the pixels. The output lines each include first wiring provided in the first wiring layer, second wiring provided in the second wiring layer, and a connecting portion penetrating the first inter-layer insulating layer to interconnect the first wiring and the second wiring. A thickness of the first inter-layer insulating layer is smaller than a thickness of the second inter-layer insulating layer.
